Abstract The shale oil reservoir in Jimusaer has the characteristics of low porosity and low permeability, resulting in significant resistance in oil flow compared with conventional oil reservoirs. Fracturing is needed to increase shale oil production. Supercritical CO2 (SC-CO2) is an ideal choice for fracturing fluid due to its unique physical and chemical properties. SC-CO2 fracturing is able to make CO2 flow into microfractures and greatly reduce the pumping pressure. New progress has been made in the application of the supercritical CO2 fracturing technology in Jimusaer. A phase control model of SC-CO2 fracturing as a function of temperature and pressure is established, which takes into account the SC-CO2 features, intrinsic energy, flow behavior in fracture and fluid filtration. In this paper, the influences of injection pressure and temperature, injection rate, temperature-pressure field, temperature gradient, and phase behavior are analyzed extensively, in addition, the phase control model and its chart of fracture are presented. The proppant accumulation height reduces by a small amount with the increase of the fracturing fluid injection rate. It is necessary to improve the proppant pumping technology by the sand embankment section and proppant concentration. The liquid transforms into supercritical fluid, when flowing in wellbores and fractures. Different fractures have different phase points, and a lower injection temperature is affected by higher injection rate, lower temperature gradient and closer position from transformation point to the end of fracture. Therefore, in order to achieve a better fracturing effect, the injection temperature, pressure, and rate need to be optimized by surface equipment according to the reservoir conditions, to control the phase behavior of CO2. We built a phase control model for the SC-CO2 fracturing technology, which considers temperature control. We also developed some new techniques to improve SC-CO2 fracturing which is critically needed in the Jimusaer oilfield.
